Got a center toon for cheap. My question is regarding the fuel cell area just in front of the transom. The area has three holes aft wall at the bottom of the toon. Wouldn't plugging these holes result in more buoyancy? I realize that when the fuel cell is full there wouldn't be much of a difference but my concern is two fold. In the event of a fuel leak the leak could enter the water and two, is the fuel cell where empty it would have a tendency to try and float.
Harm in plugging the holes with a drain plug?
